[VHFcontesting] FN55 - Transverter drive control?

[Paul Kiesel]

This is a good suggestion. I've used RG-174 to build attenuators for a long time (I found a reel of it at a local surplus store). RG-174 is small and easy to work with. It will handle a hundred watts past 1,000 MHz. Check out the specs here:
